KEYSTROKE ACCESSIBILITY NOTES

A large portion of the course is keyboard accessible. However, not all browser versions behave the same. In all browsers, the user must click on the top or bottom bars of the screen at least once in order for keypresses to function properly. Here are instructions and exceptions for some versions of Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE).

General: Browser windows that the course opens, such as Glossary or Resources, can be closed by pressing Alt + F4. In Netscape, the TAB key can be used to sequence through selections on these screens. In the Microsoft Internet Explorer browser, the user must hit the enter key to execute the Key Access Codes.

Questions: When viewing the course in Netscape, the TAB key will sequence through the answers for each question. It will also access the "Review," and "Return" buttons.


See the end of the file for Keyboard Access codes used throughout the course.

Accessibility of the course is addressed in the course navigational instructions.

If a mouse is available, users with impaired vision may "right click" on the course screen, and select the Flash "Zoom In" as required to magnify the screen. Selecting "Show All" returns to the normal sizing.
